If you live in The Bay Area, it would be pretty sweat to come and visit the Asian and Asian American Art Expo in San Francisco one day (http://www.asianart.org)
This Museum of the arts contains treasures of the Asian culture and is in display for the public to see. (see Photos)
When I found the site, and like any culture, i was immersed by the density and creative thought that was put into each work of art. to think that every culture has its own image of what art is and how it is portrayed, in the variety of form of plaster, ceramics, paper, stone, metals, etc.
To think that this art has been preserved for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years and is now in our hands, shows how far we have come. from the days of sticks and stones, to the days of silicon and binary code. Asian American Culture has a unique twist of the arts. In many exhibitions, there is an emphasis of balance and harmony, influence of nature and environments, and beauty. In addition to the vivid colors and details there is much to take away from the arts. and I believe that everyone should take the opportunity from our regular, stressful lives, and revisit the part. so that we are reminded of where we come from and how far we have come.
There is no greater pleasure than to take a day and immerse yourself to explore your more primitive and cultural side.
